Good news: women raise funding for companies, and women entrepreneurs make waves on Kickstarter.

By Angie Chang (Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Women 2.0)

FUNDS RAISED: 22 year old Meredith Perry raising $1M from Founders Fund and other angels for her startup. The Ubeam founder and CEO gave a popular TEDx talk earlier this year on “how to be a technology innovator – without an engineering degree or Asperger’s”.

Previous PITCH applicants and conference attendees may recognize this woman – Aihui Ong raised $645k in seed funding for her startup Love With Food, a subscription food box with a philanthropic twist.

If you don’t have a standing desk yet, you probably want posture sensor and mobile app LUMOback, founded by CEO Monisha Perkash. The project will be funded as it has reached its $100k goal – but you can still contribute to LUMOback and soon after, get posture help from the smart posture sensor.
